sys 3.6e with kernel 2031 hangs at BIOS summary

I retried sys c: from the 2031 bootdisk and it failed to boot, hanging at
Loading FreeDOS, hard drive working like mad, I rebooted with the same
floppy, did the same thing, and it booted. Tried again with sys 3.6e, hang
again, tried again with sys 2.6, was able to boot again.
Since I now have a bootable C: drive, can't we just compare the working
MBR/boot sector with the non working one?
